Default Mail Merging Forms

I'm running a mail merge to produce forms. These will be emailed to people who will have to check boxes and fill in a couple of fields.

The problem is if you want the box to just be checked without confusing the person with a dialog that opens you need to protect the fields in the doc. When protected if you click the boxes an X appears. If not protected a dialog box opens. I prefer the X to just appear.

The problem is there are a couple of fields that DO need to be filled in with text so I cannot protect the entire document. What's more you cannot protect the original form then use it as a mail merge template.

How can I allow the boxes be checked (without the end user seeing a dialog box - just click to check) and fields filled in when running 100 separate forms to people from a mail merge origninal?
